Its cos hes not good enough mate.
On his day hes a decent keeper, but the amount of points hes cost us over the years is defo more than the points saved.

What's wrong with fans having a negative opinion on a player?
Nothing. My point is from another thread where I opined that there is a contingent of our fan base that never accepted Tim. Even when he was at the top of his game.
So it is your opinion that he's never been good enough to be the Everton #1 keeper?

Never accepted him because of his ability. Nothing about being American.

Fair enough. The year we came 5th I remember him having a great year. Nowhere near that standard this year though.

Thats true....probably because he is 'ex Man Utd.'......the same people are probably those who never gave Phil Neville the time of day. Neville went on too long, but for some time he was a good captain, and a willing player who always gave 100%, and his tackle on Ronaldo changed our mindset and our season in a few seconds. The same people probably are those that said Cleverley was crap even before he played a game for us. It is, of course alright to like Gibson despite the fact that he was injury prone before he arrived, and is now an injury prone drink driver. Tim Howard is/was a top Premier League keeper...his time is more done than to be done, although goalkeepers can stay fit enough and enough on the game to have long careers, and I expect there will be less game time for him at Everton from now on...Martinez has subtly told us that he is considering his goalkeepeer options, and there will be a gradual transition to Robles or a new keeper. Its the least Howard deserves.Moyes never dropped Howard, Martinez will do before CHristmas,is my guess.
Oh I agree. He was absolutely terrible last season.

Well I don't believe in writing off players before they've even kicked a ball for Everton. I was made up with Tim until 2010, never crossed my mind to question whether he was a good keeper or not. The odd error started to creep in over the next few seasons but I genuinely thought it was just erratic form from the likes of Distin and Heitinga. It was only from 2011/12 onwards that I started to feel Howard was making lots more errors. They've increased since then in my view (although I thought he'd recovered a bit in 13/14) but now the situation seems to need action. I'll never say Tim was a bad keeper for us, he wasn't, he was top 5 in the prem easily in his peak, he's just past that now, no shame in people admitting that and us trying a new keeper.

Not sure how you came by that view point Steve, when he made it clear that TH is the no.1.

Maybe he is just getting a bit worn out
he looks like a top athlete, but maybe he is on his last reserves

Said he was crap from day one.
I don't disagree with any of that. I just wanted to show that there are some who never got behind this player for whatever reason.
